I absolutely agree, Boring day to day launches should be done by companies like Space X and the private market. NASA should focus on new designs and space exploration and not launching more communications satellites.
We dont have the ability to build more Saturn V rockets. Honestly as a species, we are lucky more than we are smart. We need a modern day Von Braun, and we need the morons at nasa to find all the designs information for all the rockets to date and share them with everyone so we can build upon the past instead of having to rev invent it all because of some dim witted republicans that think the plans will hell the terrorists.
Currently most casinos have 1080P 120fps broadcast quality security cameras on the tables. They can see the slightest thing and zoom in to check the sex on the fly that just landed.
They also have cameras UNDER the table edge watching you if you try to hand off something to someone sitting next to you.
"End-to-end cryptography won't stop "them" from seeing with whom you communicate, how often, where, and when."
It can if you have a clue how to. For example, Stenography in a photo. if EVERY SINGLE photo you post on facebook has a 2048 byte sample of/dev/random shoved inside of it, they will never know that the photo of the shaved cat actually holds a 2048 byte encrypted message in it.
It's called hiding in the noise floor, you just need to raise the noise floor.
plus with the proliferation of Social media I dont have to send Ralph my message. I just post it to twitter, facebook, etc... they cant tell WHO I sent it to because my WHO is the world, and Ralph has to just have an IQ above that of a salad bar to figure out how to look for my message.
You need your endpoints trusted and treat the rest as hostile, like you should have always been doing if you had any real interest in security. The NSA revelation's are that your endpoints are compromised.
If I have secure endpoints, the technology is out there to easily transmit data in a way that in uncrackable in any useable amount of time. There are a lot of FUD claims that came out of the Snowden release flurry floating about that just do not add up. YES if the encryption system is compromised it's cracked, but not all of them are.
Plus they dont NEED to crack your communication if they own your endpoints, and I am certain that is their current operation as it makes sense.
Ok. How can I, as in Me personally, TRUST FOSS? Right now there are no third party Open source groups, not even the FSF that is carefully reviewing it to see what backdoors or other nefarious spying functions are added already.
I honestly see this as an opportunity for FOSS to rise to the top quickly. They need to be publicly certify that their OS is not compromised by the NSA or other faction.
Until then I assume that Linux and BSD are as compromised as Solaris,OSX, and Windows.
My house has 300 amp service, which is a lot higher than a standard home, and I dont have TV's the explode and burn up the house.
I also plug my iphone into my Ipad charger and it did not explode. My buddy plugged his Galaxy nexus into a standard USB cord that was a Tablet charger and it also did not explode. In fact you can not find ANY phone that will follow your fantasy world's rules and do what you claim will happen.
I'm thinking your biggest worry is about absolutely nothing.
Honestly MicroUSB is crap and reality be told APPLE did have a good idea. Just have them demand a double sided 4 pin connector that can be plugged in both ways and NOT EASILY DAMAGED like garbage micro-usb.
I am certain that I am fat enough to count for Two people on my own. Therefore a more accurate number is 225% I did have a big dinner tonight to account for the extra.
Getting around Comcast firewalls and other things in the corporate lan is easy. Just find out what hidden AP the IT department has their cable modem on. EVERY SINGLE OFFICE IT had their own cablemodem and typically put a hidden SSID AP on it so they can get around corporate as well. We went farther and had a separate switch and some lan drops on that cablemodem only network. Typically in the Conference rooms and a couple of the common spaces.
Thus a fine example of why going with the lowest bidder delivers the product that barely works. Why Government still uses this useless bidding process I'll never understand.
I just cant get over how the worst enemies of this country are the ones we elected.
These are EVIL men, everyone needs to write their congresscritters and tell them how they do NOT support the actions of these Evil senators who want to permanently destroy our freedom.
Sadly, I know I am in the minority and that most of you think that all this domestic spying is a good thing.
In the USA there is... I have a left ALT key and a right ALT key. just like how my macbook also has left and right "command" keys. Heck even my toughbook has the dual ALT keys.
Yes I have 3 laptops, and I use them daily for work.

Tesla is not mass production, Its a small scale specialty car. Call me when they roll 28,000 of them off the assembly line in a year.

No problem at that point because Zombie truck will simply try to eat other trucks. It will make things a lot easier.
Absolutely, Diesel truck pulling a digester will be perfect. You kill zombies and stuff their bodies in the digester that turns them into a bio fuel.
An AR-15? for what shooting squirrels? Real men shoot an AR-10 and AR-30 for their rifles.
Compared to a Jeep decked out for the same thing. Problem is Chevy is built for roads, Jeep is built for dirt and rocks.
They might as well built a Chevy Volt zombie edition.
Yes actually.

Right here.
He got himself caught by being greedy. If he would LOSE often he would have gotten away with it.
Phone makers took YEARS to just get the clue of usb. It will be 2025 before we see usb3 on phones as a norm.

You dont need end to end trust chain.
You need your endpoints trusted and treat the rest as hostile, like you should have always been doing if you had any real interest in security. The NSA revelation's are that your endpoints are compromised.
If I have secure endpoints, the technology is out there to easily transmit data in a way that in uncrackable in any useable amount of time.

Plus they dont NEED to crack your communication if they own your endpoints, and I am certain that is their current operation as it makes sense.
So secure your endpoints and stop worrying.

If manufacturers are too stupid to come up with a standard on their own, then someone needs to force them to.

So all the numbers stations out there on shortwave are all useless? That is a perfect example of Encryption without authentication.
Oh and the WPA2 password was typically "Comcastic"

I dont think you understand how POS a POS system is. Most have utterly crappy touchscreens that do not support "gestures" only a single "tap event"
Almost 90% of all the Point of sale hardware out there are steaming piles of Fecies in quality, but cost 20X the price of regular hardware.
Dude, we know that dealing with windows sucks, but you don't have to call the whole industry a POS.
